Will these keep my insulin cold or only cool? I will be in NY next weekend for 5 days. No day is expected over 50. Will these last several hours? Loo

Youshould get 18-24 hours of cold from these ice packs. When travelling I usually re-froze my packs over nights. Even in the hotels I stayed in I was able to request a refrigerator that kept the packs cold enough to use the next day,all day. Hope this helped.

Yes, they do last several hours, especially if you have a small insulated bag, or wrap in something insulating like paper towels in a small case. I use a large eye glasses case, or a small make-up container. If the weather is not going to be over 50 degrees, you should be able to get longer than that. You can also request a room refrigerator in your hotel room for a nominal cost.

They don't work as well as the chemical freezable ones, and without ice only last about 4 hrs in an insulated cooler, so I don't think even with ice they would make it two days. I have not tried them with ice in the cooler also. Jerry

Not as long as I would like, but it kind of depends on if you have them just lying on top of your puffy eyes or wedged between your back and the bed which would be warmer. I actually will buy a regular larger gel pack next time because their thickness allows them to stay cold longer, but these are fine for very small areas, and you can rotate them if you're not using them all at the same time.

I wouldn't know specifics but I've put one in my insulated lunch bag and it lasts many hours. One day it was still frozen when I came home (9 hours later) . I normally don't use them for that, I use them for a shoulder sling with an ice pack slot.

They stay warm for about an hour. If you need to have warmth for five hours, bring more than one (like maybe 5)...

They should fit fine. The frozen ice pack keeps my insulin at the correct temp for at least two days as long as you dont put the bag in the direct sun. When we are camping for a weekend, we leave on a Friday and come back on Sunday. By late day, Sunday, the icepack is unfrozen but still cool to the touch. If I am going to be gone longer, I use a freezer zip-loc bag filled with deli-ice. It works great.

I make beer jocky boxes out of them. We do fill them with ice and I have to say the ice lasts 4 to 5 hours sometimes longer if not in direct sunlight

I had the same experience. We should probably return them to Amazon, as I believe they should remain cool until refrigerated.

They last probably 30 min or so, not warm yet but maybe not cold enough to be effective. I try and use them for 20 min before throwing them back in the freezer.

With NiMH at around 0* F they last about one hour before I start to notice a lowering of the heat output. That's while snow blowing on a tractor. Walking around, my toes stay comfortable for about 1.5 hrs. In both cases I am wearing well insulated boots that used to keep my toes warm when I was young. At 2 hrs I would have to change out the batteries but cold hands in wool gloves in Air Force mittens drive me inside long before that.

It depends on the medication you are travelling with. We use it for growth hormones which needs to be kept cool. I would recommend taking ziplock bags and fill them with ice regularly. The case has a compartment for the ice pack and I do not think it would stay cool very long unless it is frozen. If I were travelling, I would use ice, then refill whenever I stop for gas. With an ice pack it will stay cool for up to 6 hours. I love this thing. Happy travels.

It does recommend that they either be refrigerated or I believe kept at 70 degrees or below. I don't have a bottle with me while I am writing this.

Depends on how long you are planning on keeping them. I've kept them unrefrigerated for a few weeks and they were fine.

I put them in a gallon thermos jug for my husband to take to work and he said his water in the jug is cold almost the whole day and he's out in the FL sun and the jug is in the hot car all day. So I would say they stay cold for a good amount of time or at least in thermal thermos. I've never used them for anything else, just got tired of filling the ice cube trays nightly(don't have an ice maker) so he had ice to go in the thermos each day. Hope this helps.

I didn't know, so I put mine in the freezer for 12 hours at minus 17 degrees F. They are still as soft and flexible as at room temperature! Amazing!

Just keeps them chilled in the heat and insulated in the cold. My son does not use pens, just viles and this bag keeps the insulin from getting too hot or cold in summer and winter.

The packs stay cold for an hour or so; you may need to replace; however it's not medically advisable to leave a cold pack next to skin for over 20 minutes. I do, but I wrap it in a kitchen towel to avoid frostbite.
